Battle of Kalhausen

The Battle of Kalhausen (30 June 1918) was a battle of World War I that occurred when the Imperial German Army launched an offensive against Allied positions in the Vosges forest of eastern France. The Germans managed to defeat an undermanned British Army and US Army regiments, and the Germans used their famous shock tactics to capture the Allied trenches. The battle was incredibly short, with the Germans capturing the Allied trench and forcing the Allies to withdraw in a matter of minutes. The German assault on Kalhausen was a minor victory, as the Vosges front was largely quiet until the end of the war in November.
